Maybe we're not talking about the same thing here.  The current docs have,
for example, a link "PostgreSQL 7.1 User's Guide".  To me that says that
when I click on it I get to read the User's Guide for PostgreSQL 7.1.

In the user's lounge I have links along the lines of "Read the User's
Guide online".  That tells me the same thing.

I wasn't talking about server-side includes.  Don't you have template file
fragments that you use when you create a new file on the web site?  These
could be inserted into the documentation files automatically when they are
*created*.  What do you mean with "can't hardcode" if you don't generate
things dynamically?
